Unified Syllabus of Zoology for U.P. State Universities B.Sc. Part I, II & III

There will be three written papers and one practical examination. Question No. 1 in each class will be compulsory & comprehensive based on units I to IV and of short Answer type. This will carry 40% of total marks (i.e. 20 marks in I & II year and 30 marks in III year). There will be two questions from each unit carrying 60% of the marks, of which one question from each unit has to be attempted.
